Background / History

Bei Bei’s protection

Mu En regards Bei Bei as his only successor and has invested heavily in his future. He also considers Zhang Lexuan a prospective bride raised for Bei Bei. Rather than allowing Bei Bei to hunt Soul Beasts unprotected, he assigns a Shadow Guard to watch over him without revealing their presence 24.

That surveillance gives Mu En information about the Star Dou Great Forest incident, but not the full truth. The guard remains focused on Bei Bei and does not follow Lin Chen and Tang Ya during their private departure. The later battle between Madara and Di Tian also prevents Mu En’s observers from approaching closely 25 27.

Investigation of Tang Ya

Tang Ya’s rapid rise from Soul Elder to Soul Emperor prompts Mu En to convene an emergency Sea God Pavilion meeting. He repeatedly probes her for an evil aura but finds none. Seeking an explanation, he agrees to Lin Chen’s price for answering questions: a bottle of Mystic Water Pill and three Spirit-Raising Pills 24 25.

When Yan Shaozhe rejects Lin Chen’s account and pressures him, Mu En intervenes. He rebukes Shaozhe’s rashness and confirms that the described battle occurred, identifying the blood Tang Ya absorbed as Di Tian’s. He also warns the elders that Di Tian survived because a stronger being rescued him 26.

Mu En then swears upon his soul that Shrek will not harm Tang Ya, even if her Martial Soul proves evil. He examines her dragon-type mutation under his Sacred Dragon’s holy light and orders Gong Changlong to bring Soul Beasts for a feeding test. Tang Ya devours dozens without displaying an evil aura or losing control, leading Mu En to declare her Martial Soul righteous 27.

His judgment is mistaken: Lin Chen has concealed Tang Ya’s corruption with his Soul-Guiding Lamp. Mu En does not know that her apparent freedom from harmful side effects depends on Lin Chen’s intervention 11 24 29.

Recruitment and succession planning

Lin Chen’s criticism of Shrek’s treatment of talented students leaves Mu En angry but unable to refute the accusations. Mu En responds by overriding objections and granting Tang Ya direct admission to the inner court 28 29.

His offer includes powerful Soul Beasts for her to devour and a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring whenever she becomes capable of absorbing one—even if that is her seventh ring. He also accepts her condition that Shrek help rebuild the Tang Sect and support her pursuit of revenge for her parents 29.

Mu En hopes Tang Ya can become another Limit Douluo before his death. He believes he can endure several more years, potentially ten if he pushes himself. Before closing the investigation, he questions who helped obtain her rings and is visibly shocked by Lin Chen’s hundred-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring 29.

Star Rail Escort Agency assault

When Silver Wolf’s domain spreads through Shrek, Mu En discovers that the intruders have bypassed the Sea God’s Heart’s detection. He flies toward the playground in his wheelchair, only to be intercepted by Phainon, who openly identifies the operation as a murder contract 37.

Despite the difference between Mu En’s level 99 cultivation and Phainon’s level 95, Phainon’s superior dragon Martial Soul suppresses Mu En’s Sacred Dragon. Mu En’s attacks fail against layered shields, reflected damage, healing, and domain suppression 41.

Phainon’s Genesis Dragon Breath destroys Mu En’s Martial Soul Avatar and leaves him unable to move. Neither the Golden Ancient Tree’s support nor the replica Sea God’s Heart prevents his defeat. Phainon then strikes his Sea of Consciousness, knocking him unconscious before the attackers complete their mission against Zhou Yi 42 43.

Appearance

Mu En has a hunched, decrepit body that makes him appear close to death, contrasted with unusually bright, penetrating eyes. During combat, he remains seated in a wheelchair surrounded by golden holy light 25 41.

• Wheelchair: Serves as his seat and can be propelled through the air using Soul Power 37.
• Martial Soul possession: Covers his body in golden dragon scales 41.
• Dragon projection: A Sacred Dragon phantom appears behind him when he releases his Martial Soul 27 41.

Personality

Mu En usually exercises authority calmly. He can silence the pavilion with a few taps on the table, accepts bargaining when it helps obtain information, and corrects Yan Shaozhe for dismissing testimony without evidence 25 26.

His concern for talent is closely tied to Shrek’s future. Tang Ya’s background, connection to the Tang Sect, and potential to become a Limit Douluo persuade him to make exceptional concessions. His protection of Bei Bei is similarly intensive and extends to secret surveillance 24 29.

That composure has limits. Lin Chen’s public criticism wounds his institutional pride, and Mu En privately anticipates allowing Yan Shaozhe to target Lin Chen after enrollment. He also overestimates Shrek’s security, reassuring the elders that an unknown powerhouse must still be only a Limit Douluo—a conclusion Lin Chen privately rejects 27 28 29.

Equipment / Weapons / Items
